[QUOTE="Aries, post: 3254023, member: 44328"] No question, more weight will help to dampen some of the "wiggle". More strength in your arms will help as well. There is a method, I'm not sure I can describe it well enough here, but you kind of stick your hip out, rest your elbow (as much as possible) on your hip, extend your forearm upward and rest the rifle on your hand. So that the weight of the rifle is partially supported on your hip, through your forearm, if that makes any sense. As one instructor told me, "Bone is stronger than muscle." You may need someone to actually show you how to do this, or maybe someone here can describe it better. If done right, it is a little more like shooting from a rest... but you still won't be able to hold a rifle perfectly still, it may help though. [/QUOTE]
